Chocolate-Bran Bars

Directions

Grease a shallow 11” x 7” baking pan with butter; line bottom with parchment or waxed paper.

Melt chocolate, butter and molasses together in a bowl placed over a pan of gently simmering water.

Remove from heat.

Add apricots, prunes and cereal to chocolate mixture; mix thoroughly.

Spread in prepared pan, smoothing top with back of spoon.

Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until firmly set.

Loosen mixture from pan by running the tip of a knife around the inside edges of pan.

Turn out onto a board and remove paper; turn mixture over.

Cut in 24 pieces. Arrange bars neatly on a serving dish or store in an airtight container in a cool place for 2 to 3 days.
